Something More Than Temporary
May 12, 2024
This isn't it. This isn't it. There's so much more that we're not seeing. This isn't the happiest happy we will experience. God has things that are worth it, unparalleled, unimagined. This, this isn't it. This world is not our home, and there's so much more to life than this ! Please join the pastors as they speak on the Second Coming, about the role of the Holy Spirit in Heaven, about glorified bodies in Heaven, about pets in Heaven, and about God fulfilling His promises. Don't want this temporary. Yearn for something more, for forever with God in the midst of absolute love and beauty and perfection, and peace. Tune in now !

Your Forever Doesn't Exist
April 28, 2024
Whatever is being lost momentarily, more is being gained eternally," (A. Voskamp). Sometimes it's so hard to remember that this world is not your home, that this world is temporary. So persevere, aim your thoughts heavenly. Please join us as Pastor Ross and Pastor Aron speak on maintaining unwavering faith amidst sufferings, and reaching finally our home in Heaven. They'll also discuss the freedom of choice that Christ gives us and what abandoning Him means, and they'll touch on what trusting our own human knowledge will create. Trust HIM and be strong in Him. Only Christ is your true Forever, if you choose Him. He will save all of us, if we let Him.

Never More Present Than When It Hurts
April 7, 2024
Pain brings you down. Pain brings you back to reality. Pain brings you back to God... pain means you're on the right path. The clarity you gain through trial is a gift and a blessing. The fact that you are called upon to endure trial shows that the Lord Jesus sees in you something precious which He desires to develop. If he saw nothing whereby He might glorify His name, He would not spend time in refining, (MH, 471). Despite difficulties, having faith in God and in His Word will see you through. He will preserve you through tribulation. He will provide for you through need. "The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end," (C.H.S.). Tune in now to learn more.

Somewhere in a Stranger's Eye
March 31, 2024
I and all that I have are yours." What if we said this to Christ every hour, every day ? "I and all that I have are yours." All of my doubts Lord, all of my desires. All of my will and all of my worst. All of my obedience and all of my best, Lord. "I and all that I have are yours." Maybe then, we could be true representatives of Christ wherever He sends us, to the familiar or to the unfamiliar. We could flourish in foreign environments, wherever, somewhere among strangers, through the grace and power of Christ. Tune in and study with us to learn about more. We'll learn about the meaning of total surrender, about grace and we'll learn how to pray more effectively. Worry not; "Christ will hear you, for He never yet refused to heed the cry of a poor sin-sick soul," (C.H.S.).

Did We Ruin It ?
March 10, 2024
And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart." Yet still, "in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." This love of Christ is incomprehensible, and though we fail and grieve Him, filled with doubts toward Him or doubts of us, we are healed and empowered by His life and His sacrifice. Please join us as the pastors speak on the unpardonable sin, and how we must believe God will forgive AND give power and ability to live a new life. God will not ask of us anything without firstly giving us the power ! "When faith asks of God, it believes that it has the petition which it has asked of Him," (C.H.S.). God has provided help for us, and in His strength we may conquer, (PP, 421). Let us believe Him ! Let us praise Him ! Study with us now !

One With an Ending, the Second Without
March 3, 2024
From cover to cover, the Bible is filled with stories of temptations and attacks, betrayals and losses - Babylon against Israel. Today, the Lord is still watching for signs in us of surrender, signs in us of seriousness and fidelity, signs that we are ready... but our taste for the mundane grows; our worship of the world has barely begun. "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen," and we must leave for it has become a dwelling place of demons. This world rots and strides toward its destruction, yet God's Kingdom has no end. His Kingdom of glory will be forever. Join us now as we learn that understanding God's Word affects our image of Him and our relationship with Him, and that misunderstanding it will change our ability to love Him and reject the devil. Study with us now !

Best Friend Forever
February 25, 2024
Our best Friend is Jesus - He who did not withhold His own life from us but for our sakes became poor, (CS, 326). Our best Friend is Jesus - He who bore a test infinitely more severe than that which Adam failed to endure, and who overcame the tempter on man's account that through His obedience, His purity of character and steadfast integrity, His righteousness might be imputed to man. What love ! What amazing condescension ! (2Red, 14 and 15) Yet what are we but proud, disobedient and naked... What are we but confused, angry and dirty. Join us now and learn of Christ's faithfulness, His nobleness and righteousness, His authority and His blessings. We'll also discuss His Law and the spirit of His Law, and His Second Coming as well. Come and study with us ! All that can be desired is not comparable to Him. Jesus is our Friend in affliction; He is One who knows, (DG, 221).

You Live Inside
February 4, 2024
Success should be defined by our faithfulness and obedience to the Lord. Success will be defined when the forthcoming events prove whether our hearts were of stone or of flesh. "We do not belong to Christ unless we are His wholly. The effort to serve both self and Christ makes one a stony-ground hearer, and he will not endure when the test comes upon him," (COL, 50). Let us allow our Rock and our Salvation to work in us, to write His name and His law inside, to live inside so that the language of the soul may be, "Lord, take my heart; for I cannot give it. Keep it pure. Save me in spite of myself, my weak, unchristlike self," (COL, 159). Only with His strength will we endure the length of the Great Tribulation. Only with His heart will we keep the Ten Commandments, and only with His guidance will we be born again. Join us now to study more about these and other topics.

Look at Us Now
January 28, 2024
God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science. But even the greatest minds, if not guided by the Word of God, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation, (HF, 322). Knowledge has increased exponentially more in the last 100 years than in all of the history of man combined ! Could this be a sign ? Look at where we are and what we are doing... In all regards, may we let our Father and Lord lead the way as this world's time expires. Tune in and study with us about Armageddon and its timeline. We'll also discuss the Second Coming, the first and second deaths described in the Bible, and very importantly, why the Sabbath is still to be observed today.

Running From the Daylight
January 21, 2024
If the erring one persistently refuses to heed the voice that calls him with pitying, tender love, he will at last be left in darkness. The heart that has long slighted God's mercy, becomes hardened in sin, and is no longer susceptible to the influence of the grace of God. Fearful will be the doom of that soul (PP, 165). When the Light comes on, on which side will you find yourself ? The wicked run from the light, the righteous run to the light... There's no time to waste; we must make our decision now. Study with us as the pastors discuss tribulations and times of trouble, and if prophecy has been fulfilled or is still to take place.
